ELECTRIC FUSE.

f-Jywentoz ULl SSES G. ROGERS, (3F Cc To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that l, ULYSSES citizen of the United States, resim I lumbus, in the county of Franklin in d of Ohio, have invented a certain new useful Improvement in Electric uses which the following, taken connecti n with the accompanying dremngs, a scriptlon.

Heretoiore considerable trouble and. pense has been occasioned by the the electric current through. the ated. by the fusing of the fuse-wire.

The object of the present invention, there fore, is to provide an improved fuse in Winch these objections are overcome The invention consists in the constri hereinafter described and cleinr In the accompanying drawi asectional View of the shell, parts being in full. Fig. 2 is a on the plane :0 :r, Fig. 1. illustrating how the I'lbbfll of which the Midge-filler is'i orrned are folded to oirm cells or pockets.
